Abstract
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a microfluidic examination apparatus and a method of operating the apparatus, and more particularly, to an apparatus and a method for transferring a fluid using a rotation system.
For conventional testing and testing, sample preprocessing and sample weighting are very complex and time-consuming tasks, and large test equipment and expert articles are required to obtain samples suitable for inspection and testing. However, it is very difficult to establish analytical laboratories because of the expensive expert training and investment in testing instruments. A large research center or hospital can establish an analytical department, but the smallest clinic on the front line lacks the capacity to have its own laboratory. These mini-clinics typically outsource sample inspection and analysis tasks to specialized laboratories. In this case, however, not only does it take a long time to transport the sample, but it can also result in deterioration of the sample or poor inspection and analysis quality.
Recently, lab-on-a-chip products have been successfully developed to overcome these disadvantages. Typical advantages of a lab-on-a-chip product include low fluid volume consumption, low manufacturing cost, rapid analysis, and convenient portability. Lab-on-a-chip technology has become an important part of global health. In particular, it has facilitated the development of point-of-care testing (POCT) equipment, which allows rapid inspection of casualties at the scene of the accident and medical services in the field, even in rural or remote areas. As with existing technologies, sample preprocessing steps and sample-based weighing are important factors in improving the inspection accuracy of devices based on lab-on-a-chip.
Portable inspection instruments, which are currently commercially available, often lack sample preprocessing capabilities and are therefore inconsistent as a result of inspection of devices based on lab-on-a-chip. For example, a cholesterol meter and a blood glucose meter which are frequently encountered in daily life are small and portable, which is very convenient to use. However, these lab-on-a-chip-based devices use less unprocessed samples and use capillary absorbers to transfer samples to laboratories in the instrument, resulting in less accurate tests. The accuracy of these devices is not suitable for use in healthcare facilities that assess patients' overall health status based on accurate data.
Centrifugation is a commonly used method for sample pretreatment. Centrifugation cleans the required sample quickly and at low cost. Centrifugation separates the sample using centrifugal force and material density, ultimately improving the accuracy of the test. For example, EPA staff can use centrifugation to isolate suspended solids in water samples and then perform colorimetric analysis with supernatant. As another example, a laboratory technician can use centrifugation to separate solid precipitate from a sample of urine and then analyze the precipitate with a microscope to inspect the urine of crystallization.
Sample weighing is another important procedure for lab-on-a-chip technology. In the field of bioanalysis, samples must generally be volumetrically reduced to reduce errors or variability in the process. For example, in a control experiment, the results of reactions of positive control groups and negative control groups are often used to set reference values or standard curves, and the reaction results of unknown samples can be compared with reference values. A common pre-requisite for control experiments is that the control sample and the unknown sample must be reacted in the same volume or the same conditions, such as the same temperature.
However, devices based on lab-on-a-chip, now commercially available, are lacking in high-quality volumetric capacity. Typical volumetric metering methods can be divided into manual and machine metering methods. The manual weighing method has a disproportionate distribution of the inspection sample and the sample due to an artificial mistake, which significantly affects the inspection result. For example, the concentration of triglycerides in blood of healthy adults should be less than 200 mg / mL. Assuming that a 6-μL plasma is injected into the test chamber of the device and that a mistake that occurred during the test procedure caused 8 μL of plasma to be injected, this mistake makes a marked difference in test results. Subjects with original triglyceride levels of 180 mg / mL in the plasma are diagnosed as belonging to the high risk group of cardiovascular disease because the test result is 240 mg / mL. The mechanical metering system generally distributes the liquid using a capillary tube or a wax plug. However, there is a problem that the capillary absorption tube and the wax plug are very unstable and difficult to manufacture.
Therefore, there is a need for a device based on a lab-on-a-chip that is easy to manufacture, very stable, and inexpensive.
In the embodiments of the present invention described herein, a microfluidic examination apparatus and a method of operating the apparatus are introduced. In particular, the microfluidic examination apparatus described in at least one of the embodiments is inexpensive, easy to manufacture, and excellent in stability. And you can finish the inspection and analysis in a short time using a small amount of sample. The microfluidic device quickly completes the sample preprocessing and sample metering procedures using a rotation and vibration scheme.
At least one of the embodiments of the present invention is a microfluidic inspection apparatus comprising one drive module and one microfluidic platform. The drive module has one rotating unit and one vibrating unit, which drives and controls the microfluidic platform. The microfluidic platform is mounted on the drive module. And the microfluidic platform contains at least one rotation center and at least one microfluidic structure that performs sample preprocessing and sample metering. Microfluidic structures contain one main chamber, one measuring chamber, and one reaction chamber. The injection chamber is used to load the sample. The weighing chamber is connected to the injection chamber and is used for sample pretreatment and sample weighing. The reaction chamber is connected to the metering chamber and samples that have been pretreated and metered from the metering chamber are collected. The sample can also be inspected directly on the microfluidic platform by inserting a measuring strip into the reaction chamber.
At least one of the embodiments of the present invention provides a method of operating the microfluidic test apparatus. In the first step, the sample and measurement strip are placed in the injection chamber and the reaction chamber of the microfluidic platform, respectively. The microfluidic platform then begins to rotate to allow the sample to flow from the main inlet chamber to the metering chamber. In the next step, the microfluidic platform vibrates to transfer the sample from the weighing chamber to the reaction chamber containing the measurement strip. The reaction starts when the sample and the measuring strip come into contact in the reaction chamber. When the reaction is completed, the reaction results are checked by a device or a manual method.
At least one characteristic of the embodiments of the present invention is that the sample pre-processing effect is excellent. The microfluidic inspection apparatus can rapidly separate the injected sample using a rotating unit (i.e., a rotating engine). By using the principle of centrifugal force and density difference, high-density material and low-density material are separated in a short time. This rapid sample separation can purify the sample in place and greatly improve the accuracy of the analysis results.
At least one feature of the embodiments of the present invention is that it exhibits excellent analytical stability and reproducibility. After the sample pretreatment is completed, the microfluidic inspection apparatus transfers low-density substances in the sample from the metering chamber to the reaction chamber in such a manner that the sample is vibrated using the vibration unit (i.e., the vibration engine) or alternately rotated in the counterclockwise direction. Using such a mechanical approach will significantly reduce artificial mistakes and variables. For example, in a microfluidic platform, transferring samples from a vibrating unit to a reaction chamber provides a consistent reaction condition and also improves analytical stability and reproducibility.
At least one feature of the embodiments of the present invention is the ability to control the sample injected from the metering chamber to the reaction chamber. The amount of transferred sample is determined by several variables, including the shape of the weighing chamber, the volume of the weighing chamber, the distance between the weighing chamber and the center of rotation, and the volume of the injected sample. In addition, the oscillation condition of the vibration unit can be changed to adjust the sample transfer capacity.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the microfluidic examination apparatus can perform analysis using a small amount of sample. The microfluidic device can be easily manufactured, the price is low, and consistent and reliable analysis results can be obtained in a short time. The microfluidic device can be applied to various fields such as chemical test, biochemical test, medical test, water quality test, environmental test, food inspection, and defense industry.
